Re: Tabbs Spain Belinda CLS picture to follow
Sandra, I am so, so sorry you have lost Tabbs. I know how diligent you were in trying to get the best care for him. We all admire you for that, and Tabbs has a never-ending love for you for it as well. The story of finding Tabbs is a good one, in a bittersweet way. I am glad you were about to bring him home and do the kind, heartbreaking thing you had to do for him. My heart goes out to you... Wendy __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Re: Tabbs Spain Belinda CLS picture to follow
Sandra,I was so sorry to read this. You have truly tried everything you could for Tabbs. It sounds like he was ready to go. I know you're going to miss him and hurt for him, but he's in a better place now.Take care, tonyaSandra [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:Tabbs Spain, crossed over, 8th AprilI am heart broken, but after Tabbs Long and brave fight, I had my Lady vetcome out to the House to put My brave boy to sleep, He had so many trips tothe vets in the last month that I did not have the heart for that last one,when I knew that he would know where he was going. I have known we werelosing the fight for the last 3 weeks, He had lost interest in his food andalso had lost a lot of weight, but was still enjoying life up until the last2 days. he did not wish too be with me any longer sleeping or for sittingon my lap. and on the Friday I had called the vet out, I picked him up forhis last cuddle, but he wanted to be put down, and when I put him on thefloor,for him to go back to his hiding spot in the video unit, he rush outside into the garden, and did a wee, but then instead of going to one of hisold sleeping spot, he disappeared down the into the Spanish under growthwhere I could not follow him, due to us living on a mountain type range. Allday I called him and all night, up to 2.30 in the morning, I was stillexpecting him to turn up on the end of my bed, but I was scared that he wasnot coming back, and had gone off to die.Back up again 4 , and 6, still no Tabbs, by 8 o clock I knew he was notgoing to turn up,So on with my walking shoes and a lot of protection clothing, plus mywalking stick, and some rope, and down the mountain I went calling andpraying, but knowing unless I could see him, I would not be able to recoverhim, due to not responding to me on other occasions, when he wanted to bealone.one hour later and a little bit worst for wear due to the heavy undergrowth, I hear 3 meow's from him, but for the next 20 mins nothing, but atleast I knew he was down there some where, and a lot further down than Iwould have though he would have gone. I shouted to my husband to get the carand drive down to the bottom of the valley to see if could hear him or seehim , but no luck there. But my young cat Tiger who follows me every where,had followed me down through the thick under growth and was further down,than me, but he had found Tabbs, who was behind a big stone rock, it took me about 10mins to get to him, But he would not come to me, I now had the problem ofclimbing back up with him in my arms, which to begin with was OK, as he washappy to have a cuddle, after 10 mins with one arm round him and the othertrying to grab plant life to pull myself back up the hill, I was havingtrouble hanging onto him,But 20 mins later, and nearly having a heart attack we got to the top. Oh Iwas so happy, to have found him, I had thoughts that I would have alwayshave been looking down that valley and wondering where he was, and neverknowing how long he was there before he past on.My FELV boy Chang who pass on last summer, did this to us, and also My FELVBoy Rocky , he went missing for 3 days, but came back to die, they whereboth, too wild too do any treatment with. But Tabbs who was also a stray wassomeone's pet at some time,Sadly Tabbs did not wish me to hold him or give him cuddles, and went backinto his hiding place of the Video, so the phone call I had made the daybefore had to be repeated, No interest in food or water, and he lookedreally fed up. I spent a couple of hours sitting next to him and giving himmy contact and talking to him, while we waited for the vet to come. Eventhen he tried to do a little roll for me to tickle his tummy. My best Boy.The end was easy and very peace full for him, thanks to my vet.If we could have got the epogen, then may be he would have had a betterchance, for any one interested in the care Tabbs had or the history onfeline interferon and interferon A which he was treated with, then when I amfeeling better, I will give any information that may or may not be ofinterest.Also if we had started the Interferon early may be things would have had abetter ending.I do believe that the Interferon did give Tabbs a couple of extra months. hewas ill at Xmas time, so who knows.but Thanks to you all and this web site I do feel that I was able to do morefor Tabbs, than I would have with out it. Thank you.please Belinda would you add Tabbs to CLS list, do I need to send you aphoto of Tabbs. I would like too.no rush, good luck with your operation, praying all goes well and aspeedily recoveryDare I ask how is Bailey doing, I have been too upset to view the e mailsover the last week so forgive me on not being up to date.

Re: Tabbs Spain Belinda CLS picture to follow
Oh Sandra, I'm so sorry Tabbs has crossed. My heart was in my throat reading your recount of your last adventure together. I know exactly what you mean about the fear of not knowing what happened to them. Cats are so different than us in that way. Most do prefer to find a quiet place away from their loved ones, when their time is close. What an angel that Tiger is to help you find him! Make no mistake, Tabbs was found and brought home to ease his transition, not so much for him, but for you. Such love the two of you must share! Please don't think his pulling away from you during the last weeks had anything to do with the measure of that love. I believe that when the time to cross is approaching some of our babies spend more and more time outside their bodies. It's a way to prepare themselves for their next life and to ease their way. He was busy reuniting with all those that waited patiently to greet him. Sometimes the bond to loved ones on this plane is so great they need to pull away from the physical even before they pass. I think this is what happened with Tabbs, he pulled away because it was so hard to leave you physically. Now, because of the love you share, he will be with you always, now he knows he will never be far from you. Tabbs has joined all your special friends on the other side. Call on him often, he's watching over you and all those you love. Prayers and blessings to you in your sorrow, Nina

Re: Tabbs Spain Belinda CLS picture to follow
Sandra, I'm so sorry to hear about Tabbs, I was so hoping he would make it through and recover. You did everything possible and Tabbs was a very lucky boy to have you as his Mom. Sometimes life has other plans and we can only play our part, Tabbs will let you know he is OK and that he is always with you, taking care of you as you did him. You can send a photo and I will get a memorial up as soon as I can, I still have to limit my computer time or I get sore. It will be a while before I can get the photo memorials up, I have a few waiting, but I will get him added to the CLS service today, in a few minutes. Bailey is still about the same, bloodwork all great, but no energy, my vet has consulted with a holistic vet in Canada and they are sending some herbs that are targeted at healing the kidney's. We are almost 100% sure there is a longstanding kidney issue that the ultrasound and xray's and urinalysis are not showing, so we have nothing to lose by trying the herbs. Bailey is out among us and does have better days where he is moving around more, even going outside on occasion. He is slowly still gaining weight and is at 9lbs 5ozs and his wasting is better. He got an iron shot which didn't do anything that I can tell, I have his pred lowered to 5mgs a day now, so I'm just praying that we can resolve whatever is going on with his kidney's, we should get the herbs this week. Prayers for this to help would be greatly appreciated. I found an FeLV link that might be of interest to some of you, my vet thought it was very interesting: http://www.azmira.com/StudyFelineLeukemia.htm I've decided to try eastern medicine since the western medicine has taken him as far as it is going to, we've tried everything we can think of so now we take a new road. -- Belinda Happiness is being owned by cats ...
